Effect of dietary interventions on nutritional status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) have an increased risk of developing altered body composition, such as low muscle mass, and an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD).Thus, investigating how to improve body composition and CVD risk factors is a relevant topic to improve management of RA and SpA. The aim of this study was to identify dietary interventions that can improve body composition, as well as reduce CVD risk factors in RA and SpA.
